POEM STARTER

Cleansing
Write a poem inspired by this theme.
Ultraviolet
Purple is the Color of God
The thunderstorm said this to me
On the morrow
Between the transition of white stars
To a blank black blanket
Mixing and swirling behind
The static bolts crackling
In the sky
Clouds grow excited
A blink of life, our own moment, yes
**_ECHO, yes _**
A closed eye for a tear to fall
Renewal in this
Thunder in this too
**CRASH **
The sky says, and send bolts of heaven to **_crack_** open the universe
The cosmos **_unravel_** themselves
So you can be here
Now
Pure
Cleansed not in fire
NO,
In something even more , beyond us
And resonant
Purple is the color of stars we can’t even understand
But they look at us and therefore
A humans beauty makes them real
Makes us cleansed too
